 Great news Grumpy,

  Saw the links on Matt's youtube account and thought that someone has got themselves a GOOD deal ;}

  Lucky the cops were there to guide Matt back after he got lost.
 
  Now like me you will have to sit back and wait for the ship to come in :a:a:a

Thanks Barry,

Funny about the cop showing Matt back to the guys place. Looked like a prety nice horse breeding area for the pony to be housed anyways.

Man I feel like I've won the bloody lotto...what an awesome deal.

Just have to see how long it will take to get here now, it's just torture seeing the clips on you tube and then going into an empty garage!!

Nice find, hope it all works out, I have a 67 that has the same color set and it is a real head turner.

As for the A/C, I have it on mine and even driving it in Texas for a couple of years I never used it. It is hot enough for air then it is roof down, so give some thought to that one.

I know what you mean but just stay focused on the unreal feeling you have the first day you go into the garage and find your baby sitting there!!!;2

I love reading stories like this where a great car is found at a great price. Congratulations and it is also good to know that someone like Matt is there to help find the right car, just in case I ever decide to look for another one (which I would have to hide from my wife).

Call Sign Change requested

Grumpy One Is now.......Happy1

I did tell you...Patience will pay off!!...it allways does

Congratulations Ed (and wifey)

Its now out the back parked with the "Elite fleet" in the stable :w

Its alittle over cast today but if I can get accross 580 to the business district, I will get some nice snaps of your car before it ships out on wednesday.

Will be ordering a new front screen, rubber and a decal kit for starters....would also suggest a new tank and sendor unit but thats your call

Sheri has suggested getting a nice photo of the cars with all the quotes that people make with travels back to Tampa.

You had a lot...one guy stopped and told me his life story about how he met his 1st wife with her 68 vert and they ended up in the back seat....lol

The car got alot of attention....It really does look better in real life than even the vids suggest

Sorry I painted a bad picture of the car over the phone than compared to the videos you watched but that was actually a compliment...so no offence takin

Congrats again

Matt

Matt,

Not that it really matters but what's the damage on the windscreen a new tank and sender roughly,  as I think that maybe a good idea. Send me an email or u2u on the prices?

Also buddy check your email - just sent you one regarding what the next steps are - re: shipping agent?

Hey the response has been terrific mate. To think some implied it couldnt be done!!

Nice one mate!
For your sake, I hope the cowl rust isn't too bad... that is a major job to fix. That was one of my many major jobs to fix :+

nhmustang,

We are not intirely sure at this stage, matt is going to order a marti report and check it out.

I'm not expecting it to be a true GT , but if it turns out to be one,  then i'm not sure who I should be complaining too???

:+:+:+

What an extra bonus if it comes to be one though hey!!

Hmm, "sex", heard about it, read about it, cannot remember....

Maybe thats why I get into trouble when filling out paperwork, they ask "sex?" I write yes.
